The duraplane trainer 40 ARF is the best plane I have ever had and probably ever will have.It has already taken a beating and got right back up.Any other plane would of been totaled if it did what what my duraplane did.I was coming in for a touch 'n' go and was heading straight towards the crowd and decided to abort so I gave it full power and did a 90 degree about 3 ft off the ground and cartwheeled it across the concrete runway! After a quick fuel up it was back in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We do that kind of stuff all the time with SPADs.. cheaper and with a lower wing loading. (for better aerobatics)

To demonstrate the durrability of a P-51 Mustang made from Coroplast...I took it full throttle knife edge over the runway and drug a wingtip. Didn't even have to replace the prop.
